✦Grammar Breakdown
¡Québuenafiesta,eh?
Exclamative Qué
¡Qué! introduces an exclamation and is always written with an accent to differentiate it from the conjunction que.
Adjective Agreement
Buena agrees in gender and number with fiesta (feminine singular), so the adjective takes the -a ending.
Tag Question ‘eh?’
‘eh?’ (or ‘¿no?’) is a colloquial tag that turns a statement into a request for agreement, similar to English ‘huh?’ or ‘right?’
Punctuation
Spanish uses opening and closing exclamation marks. The comma before the tag separates the main clause from the tag.

✕Common Mistakes
¡Que buena fiesta, eh?
Missing the accent changes the meaning; ‘Que’ is a conjunction, not an exclamation.
¡Qué bueno fiesta, eh?
The adjective must agree with the feminine noun fiesta, so it should be ‘buena’.
¡Qué buena fiesta? eh!
The tag should be written without a question mark when the whole sentence already ends with an exclamation mark; keep the comma before the tag.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, tag questions like ‘eh?’, ‘¿no?’, or ‘¿verdad?’ are common after an exclamation to invite agreement. The choice of tag can vary by region; ‘eh?’ is especially popular in Argentina and Uruguay, while ‘¿no?’ is more universal. Keep the tone friendly; using a tag with a formal register can sound sarcastic.
